Chapter 2558

Based on the environment and existing basic conditions in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, there is no doubt that it will have greater development space than Hainan Island in the long run. Whether it is Shi Diwen or the executive committee in Sanya, they will definitely agree with this view. This is also the promotion Objective motivation for the implementation of the capital relocation plan.

But the travelers spent more than 20 years building Hainan Island, investing countless resources during this period. Now if we want to move the center of the entire country to Hangzhou, thousands of miles away, we will inevitably face huge relocation costs and large-scale engineering construction. If Shi Diwen hadn't stood up and vigorously promoted this matter, the capital relocation plan probably wouldn't have been implemented so quickly.

In the capital relocation plan formulated by Shi Diwen, he prepared relatively complete solutions to the funding and infrastructure issues that the Executive Committee was most concerned about. He understood that the root cause of the infrastructure problem was actually funding. As long as the required funds were solved, other problems would be solved. All problems can be solved easily. Therefore, the focus of Shi Diwen's plan is to introduce private funds to participate in project construction, so as to solve the funding gap problem required to move the capital.

Although the Executive Committee is no stranger to how to issue engineering bonds, the area where the bonds are issued this time is not only in the areas traditionally controlled by Haihan, but also in the Ming Dynasty area that has just begun to take over, especially in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, the most prosperous areas in the world. In this area, it is undoubtedly more appropriate to leave it to Shi Diwen to carry out the preliminary investigation and preparation work. So up to now, related matters are organized and promoted by Shi Diwen.

Ha Jianyi suddenly asked: "Uncle Shi, I would like to interrupt this junior. So many salt merchants' children have been recruited into the Hangzhou garrison. Will the Yangzhou salt merchants be grateful and act as a major funder of the capital relocation plan?"

Ha Jianyi's question was actually about the topic he and Shi Diwen had previously discussed, that is, how much practical benefit would it bring to Haihan to retain the children of salt merchants in the army.

Shi Diwen's previous explanation for this did not involve economic reasons, but now that the issue of using private capital was mentioned, Ha Jianyi naturally thought of the special group of Yangzhou salt merchants. After all, when it comes to financial resources, no one can ignore their existence. Since they have received care from the government, it seems reasonable to pay some real money in return.

Shi Diwen smiled and said: "It goes without saying that the Yangzhou salt merchants are definitely our key target for raising funds from the private sector. They have collected so much money, so instead of casting silver winter melons and putting them in the cellar to cause bad luck, it is better to lend them out first. Construction of various projects. When I met with Dai Chengrong's father last time, I talked to him about the bond, and he also made it clear that he would gather salt merchants to support it. When the bond is officially issued, they will actively subscribe."


Dai Chengrong's father, Dai Yingda, is the leader of Yangzhou salt merchants. The attitude he expressed can basically represent the Yangzhou salt merchants as a group. Since there are many salt merchants' children working under Shi Diwen, these salt merchants will have to actively subscribe even for the sake of their children's future.

Of course, as the person involved, Dai Chengrong would definitely not talk about these inside stories in front of outsiders. Ha Jianyi seemed to finally understand why when he asked Dai Chengrong today, the other party always went around and around, but did not respond directly and only asked him to report to Shi Di Wen seeks answers. It turned out that it was because financial interests were involved. I think Dai Chengrong was worried about being misunderstood, so he kept avoiding answering.

After answering Ha Jianyi's question, Shi Diwen returned to the topic and continued to explain the plan to move the capital.

In addition to new city construction and land transportation, there is also an extremely important type of infrastructure projects, which are various industrial projects that need to be relocated from Hainan Island.

Most of Haihan's current industrial production projects are concentrated on Hainan Island, especially in the two industrial zones of Tiandu and Changhua Mine. Some of these projects are unlikely to be relocated over long distances. For example, the Changhua Smelting Industry, which is closely related to Shilu Iron Mine and Heitugang Coal Mine, is unlikely to be relocated too far away from the source of raw materials. Most of the projects that must be relocated are related to the various advanced technologies that Haihan has mastered, such as the military industry, chemical projects, high-end manufacturing that produces various engines, etc. Whether it is for safety or technical reasons, these industries must be under the strict control of the Executive Committee. If the Executive Committee moves north to Hangzhou, these industries will also move out of Hainan Island.

Of course, these industrial projects cannot just find a place to build a few factories and start production. Production sites must be built according to their specific needs. For example, many industrial projects require the use of electric energy, so they must first find a suitable place to build supporting facilities such as power plants to provide the necessary basic conditions for their start-up.

Having said this, Shi Diwen stood up again and walked to the map. He raised his hand and pointed to the southwest area of ​​Hangzhou and said: "The terrain in these areas is dominated by mountains and the water system is developed. There are many places where reservoirs can be built to generate electricity. However, power generation The station site selection requires professionals from Sanya to come over for survey, so the preliminary preparations may take a long time.”

Tao Hongfang asked: "Has Uncle Shi considered building a thermal power plant here?"

Shi Diwen nodded and said: "Of course I have considered it, but the technology of thermal power generation seems not yet mature, and the source of coal must be considered. I have already applied for the Mining Department to send people to explore the coal mines in Jiangsu and Zhejiang. If everything goes well, If so, we should be able to find coal mines in Huzhou Prefecture.”

Industrial electricity on Hainan Island mainly comes from reservoirs and hydropower stations built on several rivers in the southern part of the island. In recent years, the scale of industrial electricity consumption has become larger and larger, and attempts have been made to build thermal power plants that use coal to generate electricity in the Changhua area. .

However, although the area near Hangzhou has mountains and rivers, it is not suitable for building large-scale hydroelectric power stations, and it may not be able to meet the future development needs of this area. Therefore, Shi Diwen had actually included thermal power stations as a consideration from the beginning of formulating the plan to move the capital.

It's just that Shi Diwen doesn't know much about the current actual application level of thermal power plants, and the problem of coal burning needs to be solved first. He consulted information from the Ministry of Industry and found that there should be underground coal mines in Guangde and Changxing in Huzhou Prefecture that had not yet been explored.

The local area is about a hundred miles away from Hangzhou. In the future, the water system around Taihu Lake can be used to transport coal by water at a lower cost. However, the specific reserves of Huzhou coal mines and whether they are easy to mine cannot be concluded until professionals go to the local area to conduct actual exploration.

After the power supply problem is solved, the long-distance relocation of Haihan's existing industrial system will be easier to achieve.
